LYON, France – INTERPOL has today issued a global alert to its 188 member countries following the request of Pakistan’s Minister of the Interior, and its own determination, that if the proposed Koran burning by a pastor in the US goes ahead as planned, there is a strong likelihood that violent attacks on innocent people would follow.
Minister Rehman Malik personally contacted INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble to engage the world police body’s assistance in warning law enforcement of the increased terrorist threat if plans reported by the media to burn the holy book were carried out on Saturday’s anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
“One of INTERPOL’s primary functions is to prevent crime, and given that we have been made aware of a significant threat to public safety – an assessment which we share – it is our duty to ensure that we pass this information on to law enforcement agencies around the globe so that they can take appropriate measures,” said INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.
“Although there are currently no specific details as to what forms of terror attacks would follow, what is clear is if the Koran burning goes ahead as planned, there will be tragic consequences, ones which may well claim the lives of many innocent people,” added Mr Noble.
INTERPOL has circulated Pakistan’s warning and its own alert to all National Central Bureaus around the world, and also has requested that any country receiving information about a potential threat to public safety contact INTERPOL’s General Secretariat headquarters immediately.
“September 11 is a day when the world should come together to redouble our efforts to prevent and fight terrorism, not a day when any individual, especially an American, should engage in provocative acts that will give terrorists propaganda intended to convert September 11 from a day of remembrance, to one of recruitment for terrorists and others inspired to attack the US and other western targets,” stressed Secretary General Noble.
“Pakistan’s actions in contacting INTERPOL to ensure that potentially vital information in helping police identify and prevent any form of terror attack is circulated worldwide are to be commended, and the reaction of INTERPOL and others around the world in response to this planned hateful act should be seen by the Muslim community as strong evidence that this man and his small congregation stand alone,” concluded Secretary General Noble.
In addition to circulating any related information to NCBs, staff at INTERPOL’s 24-hour Command and Co-ordination Centre at the General Secretariat Headquarters will be placed on alert and be asked to treat with urgency any information related to potential criminal conduct linked to the burning of the Koran.
They should stick to policing video tape crimes....
o fortheluvofpete it’s global-drama-queen day.
I think this will push more people into burning the damn koran.
Wow, Interpol, what a bunch of little girls..
wth?!?!?
IT IS A FREAKING BOOK!!!!
these people need to get real.
“there is a strong likelihood that violent attacks on innocent people would follow.”
Would be a damn shame if there were violent attacks on innocent muzzies in retaliation for attacks on innocent people. just sayin...
Yup...everybody's going apesh*t over this.
I expect the global rock concert to be organized soon.
This is a promoter's wet dream.
“He shall be a wild ass of a man, his hand against everyone”
Gen. 16:12
On the other hand, if the proposed Koran burning by a pastor in the US does not go ahead as planned, there is a strong likelihood that violent attacks on innocent people would follow.
more bigoted: guy who burns Koran, or guy who presumes that doing so will send Muslims into uncontrollable murderous frenzy? - https://twitter.com/iowahawkblog
I agree - there will be an increased threat of attacks on innocents if he burns the Quran.
And THAT’S what’s wrong with Islam!
(Why can’t they report it like this?)
I am going to reprint my post on another thread and encourage all to pray it isn’t what is being set up here.

Interpol just warned of terror attacks if this preacher goes through with this Koran burning. Good grief..the whole world is going crazy over one preacher with 50 followers. Something doesn’t add up here.
I am starting to believe this whole thing is being set up as the scapegoat if a terror attack happens on our shores in the coming weeks. They know something we don’t. Likely that an attack has already been planned long ago and will be carried out soon. Add this to the Taliban announcing today that ‘soon they will have victory’ and we might just have the Obama ‘October Surprise’. A terror attack on US shores that they will blame on conservatives and christians. Obama will then have the power to stop the elections and then use the incident to destroy our chances to win back Congress. Far fetched tin foil stuff perhaps...but not beyond the realm of possibility given the evil of Obama and his ruling class thugs.
Pray for our country.

Look how they freaked out after last years Dutch MO-hommand cartoon for God's sake.
Here's an idea: since this guy is basically an unknown before this stunt put him in the national spotlight, and since what he is doing is it is legal (his right - afterall, he owns this Koran he's burning, right?), and therefore it is hardly news-worthy...
how 'bout if "the media" would not report it?
The terrorists and radicals insult Islam. I agree with the guy carrying the sign, they should all be beheaded. The irony is, he knows he’s an insult or he wouldn’t have his face covered. Cowards.
Absolutely. I for one have gone from neutral to "Let's have a huge frickin' bon fire".
How DARE these American protest and defend themselves? Americans should shut-up and accept their dhimmitude with grace. At least that is how I read this article.
